Ascension Changelog

[Scholomance] - Scholomance has been split into 2 different dungeon instances for Random Group Finder and for Mythic plus. These two instances are Upper Scholomance and Lower Scholomance.

[Pending Restart] Many pet abilities like Furious Howl, Enrage, Rabid, Furious Anger and so will now be cast only once pet enters combat, preventing them from wasting them between pulls!

Many pet abilities like Ferocious Howl, Enrage, Rabid, Furious Anger and so will now be cast only once pet enters combat, preventing them from wasting them between pulls!

[Requires Patch Update] - Fixed an issue where you couldn't learn Ferocious Bite on Area-52.

[Pending Restart] - Fixed an issue where the Bountiful Boon would not increase your active health to match the percentage of your new health. This means if you popped this boon at 80% HP and gained 20% stamina, your new health would be 60% HP. This was problematic in the design space of Mythic+ with certain affix combinations, such as Grevious Wounds where gaining that extra health could cause your party members to gain stacks of Grevious Wounds.

[Pending Restart] - [Holy Champion] - Developer Notes: Holy Champions before these changes were nothing short of a defensive bulwark for the packs that they guarded. While they did serve their purpose of buffing their allies and defending them, they were not fun to match-up-against. There was not enough counter play or skill expression to defeat Holy Champions and they were not dangerous. It felt like they were there for the sole purpose to just add time to your key. With all things considered, these factors were the exact opposite of how we wanted champions to contribute to keystones and their progression. The newly designed Holy Champions still considerably buff their allies and punish you for standing in their Divine Consecration but the most important thing is they allow you to play and pull at your own pace. Think you can handle the extra pack with the Champion? Go for it! Just be sure to manage your consecration stacks, be mindful of the extra damage that pack will contribute and make sure to get that kick/stun/knockback/kill off at 20% health before the cast finishes!

[Pending Restart] - [Holy Champion] - Upon reaching 20% health, Holy Champions would cast Divine Prayer. However, Divine Prayer has been reworked. It is now called Divine Wrath. Divine Prayer is a cast protected by an undispellable Divine Shield for 67% of its cast duration and if not kicked in the remaining 33% left of its cast duration would heal all allies and the champion to full health. Divine Wrath is still protected by Divine Shield for 67% of its duration, it still is interruptable and now deals medium to severe damage to targets within 15 yards of the casting champion if uninterrupted.

[Pending Restart] - [Holy Champion] - Sanctuary is now called Divine Consecration. Sanctuary used to periodically place a healing ground consecration under your allies. Healing 5% of their Maximum HP every 1 second and reducing damage taken by 25% while in the consecration. Divine Consecration now deals small to medium Holy Damage every two seconds and inflicts you with a stack of Holy Reckoning. Holy Reckoning increases holy damage taken by 6% per stack, stacks up to 250 times and lasts for 8 seconds.

[Pending Restart] - [Holy Champion] - Devotion is now called Anointed Strength. Devotion previously reduced all damage taken by all allies within 40 yards by 25%. Anointed Strength causes nearby allies to deal a bonus 15% of their weapon damage as Holy Damage on their attacks.

[Pending Restart] - Classic's Holy Champions have received a rework.
